Recently, a text by the author Viktor Mekhov appeared, stating that China has three times less people than is commonly believed. About Chinese statistics, smart people have long joked that "Chinese statistics should have been one of the sports in the Beijing Olympics." She cannot be trusted in any way. However, like the Russian one.
The statistics on the Chinese population are very interesting. The monograph "The Historical Macrodynamics of China" gives the following figures: in 1845, 430 million people lived in China, in 1870 - 350, in 1890 - 380, in 1920 - 430, in 1940 - 430, in 1945 - 490 Let's close our eyes to the first figure of 430 million. It is not known who and how received it. But, even if it is more or less accurate (at least within + -10%), it turns out that the population in China either decreased by 80 million over 25 years, then grew by 50 million over 30 years, then did not change at all for 20 years. Let's say it's possible to multiply by 13% in 30 years. There were definitely no condoms in China in the 19th century, and there were no pensions either. Parents in old age could only be fed by children. Therefore, the more of them, the better. But then how to explain the growth of 200% (three times) over the period, only twice as much (in 70 years)? At the same time, for twenty years out of these seventy, China pursued a policy of birth control (one family - one child). Plus famine during the extermination of sparrows. Plus war.
Is it possible to at least approximately estimate the number of people in a particular country without head counts? Can. In theory. It is possible to compare the population density in the country under study with a country with more adequate statistics. It is possible to compare the number of urban dwellers in the country under study and the declared share of the urban population in that country with similar figures in a country with more adequate statistics. You can compare the consumption of cereals in the country under study with a figure of 1 ton per year per person. It is believed that 1 ton of grain is required for a normal life. Not the whole ton goes to bread and cakes. Part goes to the reproduction of the next year's harvest, part - to feed livestock, part - to stocks, part - is lost. These will all be, of course, indirect indicators. But it's better than nothing.
So, based on such indirect indicators, no more than 500 million people currently live in China. Similar story with India. According to indirect indicators, no more than 250 million people live there.
What am I getting at? At the very beginning, I said that Chinese statistics cannot be trusted in the same way as Russian ones. Russian statistics claim that in the Russian Federation at the beginning of 2017 there were 146.8 million permanent residents.
Can this number be trusted? Take a look around. Look at those families whose adult members are now in the range of 40-50 years. They often don't have children at all. Or just one child. Two or three is the exception to the rule.
But there are very few such families. These families are the legacy of the aftermath of World War II. As it has now been almost officially announced (at the parliamentary hearings “Patriotic Education of Citizens of Russia: “Immortal Regiment” in the State Duma on February 14, 2017, the report “Documentary Basis for the People’s Project“ Establishing the Fates of the Missing Defenders of the Fatherland”) was announced, irretrievable losses of the population of the USSR as a result of the action of war factors amounted to almost 42 million people. Of this number, soldiers and officers - more than 19 million people. Therefore, approximately every 25 years, a demographic hole sets in in our country. The first hole happened in 1941-1945. The second hole - in 1967-1970. The third hole - in 1993-1998. The fourth pit will begin around 2020.
A monstrous economic crisis was superimposed on the demographic hole of the early 90s, comparable in scale to either the Great Depression of the early 30s of the last century, or the Second World War. Which also left its negative imprint on fertility and mortality.
When we try to understand how many of us are left in the country, we must not forget about mass emigration. It has been going on for the last 25 years, either increasing or decreasing. In the 1990s, it was explained by purely economic reasons. With the beginning of Putin's third term, economic reasons were superimposed by ideological ones. The most active, the smartest, the most enterprising did not see themselves in the same country with this person. Emigration after 2011 has increased significantly. At times, it exceeded the indicators of the civil war that occurred immediately after the Bolshevik coup in 1917.
And now, after these introductory figures, they are trying to convince us that from 148.7 million people in 1992 we decreased to only 142 million people in 2008, after which the restoration of our numbers began? Do the stats take us all for idiots?
In 2011, the following information appeared on the Internet: according to the Central Analytical Center of the Civil Registry Office, as of June 1, 2010, in the Russian Federation, according to documents, only 89,654,325 people are registered, and not 142,000,000, as officially stated in the population census. Of course, it is not possible to check it.
But we can see how much grain crops are harvested in our country. Between 2000 and 2014, Russia collected from 60.9 million tons (in 2010) to 108.2 million tons (in 2008). On average, over these fifteen years, 83.1 million tons are produced. If we divide the resulting figure by 1 ton of grain required for a normal human life, we get 83 million people. This figure is remarkably similar to the figure of 89.6 million people walking around the Internet.
You can indirectly estimate the population of the Russian Federation in another way. According to Rosstat, the urban population at the beginning of 2017 is 74%. There is a website anaga.ru/goroda.htm on the Internet, which lists all 1,127 Russian cities by name, and indicates the population in each of them. It is not clear, however, on what date these figures are given. But a comparison of these figures from other sources convinces of the adequacy of the figures indicated on the site. So, in total, 99.3 million people live in Russian cities. And now we take Rosstat's 74%, and we get the total population in the Russian Federation - 134.2 million people. This is if Rosstat does not exaggerate the number of rural residents. Judging by the speed of “closing schools in the countryside”, the Rosstat figure may turn out to be as far from the real state of affairs as all its other figures. But, if he still doesn’t lie, then this is much more than we received, based on the grain harvest. And this is much more than according to registry offices. But there is much less data from Rosstat, which claims that, at the beginning of 2017, there were 146.8 million permanent residents in the country.
Which of the resulting figures is closer to the truth? And the devil knows, comrade commander. But definitely less than official Russian statistics broadcast. They cannot be trusted in any way.

THE REAL NUMBER OF THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION OF RUSSIA
There are various demographic data published by the authorities, from which one can independently and very accurately calculate the real situation with the number of Russian citizens.
At the time of the collapse of the USSR, 142 million people lived in Russia (this is official Soviet data). Since then, about 35 million have fled the country irretrievably (this is official data), and the flight continues, the rest quickly died out (previously from 1992, 800 thousand a year) and continue to die out (in 2010 it was already 1.1 million per year, by 2016 it is expected to increase to 1.6 million per year due to the death of a large post-war generation).
According to the Central Analytical Center of the Russian Federation, as of June 1, 2010, 89,654,325 people (Russian citizens) were registered as alive according to documents in the registry office. Every quarter, the government records the reports of the Central Analytical Center, but the numbers are actually published completely different.
Now let's count.
142 million (in 1991) - 35 million (emigrants) = 107 million people
107 million people - there would be so many Russians now if the people did not die out, but only fled abroad. But the people were dying out at an average rate of about 900 thousand per year over these years (slower in the 1990s, then in the 2000s with acceleration).
Multiplying the average annual decline of 900,000 per year by 19 years (1992-2010), we get about 17 million people in population decline due to, as our leaders now say, the "natural" decline in the Russian population. (Although, in order to call the extinction of an entire people "natural", one must be distinguished by a particularly rare cynicism.)
Let us subtract 17 million “naturally reduced” from the previously received 107 million people and get 90 million people, which coincides with high accuracy with the number of living Russian citizens given by the Central Analytical Center of 89,654,325 as of June 1, 2010.
Thus, our calculations are quite consistent with the reality, which is constantly kept by the registry offices with an accuracy of one person.
So, the real number of indigenous people in Russia in the middle of 2010 did not exceed 90 million people.
Moscow is the largest metropolis populated so densely that it occupies a leading position in terms of population among all European cities. On the territory of the Russian capital and its associated settlements, only officially there are over 17 million people. And this data does not include thousands of visitors who have not been officially registered.
The number of people living in Moscow in 2018 exceeded the 12 million mark, which put the metropolis on the 10th line of the world ranking for similar indicators.
Moscow is the most populated city in Russia and Europe (with a population of over 12.5 million people).
According to unofficial data, together with visitors in Moscow, 15-17 million people.
What was the population of Moscow before and how many people are there now?
The issue of accounting for the urban population of Moscow did not arise today, back in the 17th century, statistical data were obtained on the number of people living in the glorious city. In that distant 1638, the number did not exceed 200 thousand souls. In the following century, the population, on the contrary, decreased by about a quarter. And by the beginning of the war of 1812, the number again reached and even slightly exceeded two hundred thousand.
The activity of migration to Moscow has been increasing since the middle of the 19th century, and by the beginning of the 20th century, almost one million people already live in the city. After the revolutionary period in the history of Russia, in particular in 1926, the population of Moscow, which by that time had become the capital of the country, doubled. And at the end of the Great Patriotic War, the hero city intensively expands the agglomeration, thereby increasing its own population.
According to Rosstat, by the end of 2016, thanks to positive natural and migration growth, the number of people living in the capital totaled 12 million 364 thousand people.
By districts of Moscow
Let's use the statistics for 2018 to find out how many people live in Moscow in each of its districts:
- Eastern AD: 1,495,835.
- Western AO: 1,344,044.
- District of Zelenograd: 232 489.
- Northern AD: 1,151,160.
- North-East AD: 1,402,928.
- Northwestern Autonomous Okrug: 979 614.
- Central JSC: 760 690.
- South-East AD: 1,363,859.
- Southwestern Autonomous Okrug: 1,414,510.
- Southern Autonomous Okrug: 1,760,813.
- Novomoskovsky district: 183,591.
- Trinity district: 108 063.
The three "record holders" are the Southern, Eastern, South-Western districts of the capital. Let us now turn to smaller formations - districts. Let's see how many people in Moscow live in its most densely populated agglomerations.
Distribution of the population by ethnicity
Rosstat claims that the number of Russian people in the ethnic composition of Moscow is quite high and is constant at around 80-90% of the total. However, unofficial statistics indicate the opposite - the share of Russians among Muscovites is only 31%, in other words, two-thirds of the capital's population are representatives of other nationalities. Mostly these are migrants from the CIS countries, immigrants from Asian countries and other nationalities.
Here are some figures according to unofficial data. The share of Azerbaijanis living in Moscow is 14%, Ukrainians 9%, Armenians 4%, Belarusians and Georgians 3% each. Former residents of Asian countries together account for 11% of the total number of Muscovites. Representatives of small people's republics that are part of the Russian Federation (Tatars, Bashkirs, Chechens, Ingush, Chuvash, etc.) - 14% of Moscow residents. Considering the above figures, we can say with confidence that Moscow is a multinational metropolis.
By districts of Moscow
At the moment, the capital is a formation of 125 districts and 21 formations of a different type. Using the data of the Federal State Statistics Service specifically for Moscow, let's imagine how many people in the city of Moscow live in its most populated areas. The table shows the entities where over 100,000 people are registered (temporarily and permanently).
Thus, Maryino is the leader in terms of population in Moscow. The population density in this area is 21,208.82 people/km2. In second place - Vykhino-Zhulebino, in third - South Butovo. Behind them - Mitino, Otradnoe, Yasenevo.
How many people in Moscow live in Rogovsky, the least populated settlement in the city? 2,919 people for 2017. The most sparsely populated area of the city is Vostochny - there are 13,577 people. Vnukovo, Staraya Kryukovka, Yakimanka, Kurkino will also be not crowded.
Despite the fact that Maryino is the most densely populated, the Zyablikovo district is the leader in terms of population density in the metropolis - 30,363.7 people / km 2. Next in terms of population will be Novokosino, Lomonosovsky, V. Degunino, Bibirevo. The smallest population density can be observed in the Molzhaninovsky district - 330.95 people / km 2, as well as in Metrogorodok, Vnukovo, Severny and Silino. The minimum density of living people is observed in a settlement called Rogovskoye - 56.96 people / km 2.
Spheres of activity of Muscovites
According to the latest official statistics for the fall of 2016, the working-age population of Moscow is 7.35 million people. Only 1.7% of them are not employed. The type of employment of city residents was analyzed for the last time in 2014. Based on the results of analytics: the vast majority of city residents are involved in wholesale and retail trade. A high percentage of working people in the industrial and construction areas, as well as those whose profession, one way or another, is connected with real estate.

Moscow is the capital and the largest city in terms of population of the Russian Federation and its subject, the most populated of the cities located entirely in Europe, one of the ten cities in the world in terms of population, the largest Russian-speaking city in the world.
According to Rosstat, the population of the city exceeds 12,506,468 (2018) inhabitants, the population density is 4880 people/km.
The materials of the territorial body of the Federal State Statistics Service for Moscow were used as a source. Summary indicators for municipalities are given as of January 1, 2010, population - for 2018.
population statistics
Maryino is the largest district of Moscow in terms of population. Its population as of 2018 was 253,908 people. Then follow Vykhino-Zhulebino (224,796 people), South Butovo (207,967 people), Mitino (192,876 people), Otradnoye (185,171 people) and Yasenevo (177,847 people).
The settlement of Rogovskoye (3408 people), the settlement of Klyonovskoye (3617 people), the settlement of Krasnopakhorskoye (4867 people), the settlement of Mikhailovo-Yartsevskoye (5377 people), Molzhaninovsky district (9903 people) have the smallest population. Among the districts of Moscow, they are several times ahead of Vostochny (13,631 people), Vnukovo (25,406 people), Yakimanka (27,589 people), Staroe Kryukovo (30,853 people) and Kurkino (33,312 people).
area statistics
The largest district of Moscow in terms of area is the Metrogorodok district, which includes part of the territory of Losiny Ostrov, the area of \u200b\u200bthe district is 2756.74 hectares. It is followed by South Butovo (2553.74 ha), Yasenevo (2536.65 ha), Molzhaninovsky district (2178 ha) and Ramenki (1853.71 ha). Among the settlements of Moscow, the largest are Voronovskoye (20,626 ha), Rogovskoye (17,595 ha), Novofedorovskoye (15,675 ha), and Pervomayskoye (11,894 ha).
The smallest districts of the city are Arbat (211 ha), Savelovsky (269.9 ha), Marfino (296.7 ha), Vostochny (314 ha) and Altufevsky (325.25 ha). The smallest settlements in Moscow are the Mosrentgen settlement (641 ha), the Shcherbinka settlement (762 ha), and the Kokoshkino settlement (828 ha).
population density statistics
The most densely populated area of the city is the Zyablikovo district. The population density in it is 30387.21 people / km. Then follow Novokosino (29901.67 people / km), Lomonosov district (26346.71 people / km), East Degunino (26223.87 people / km) and Bibirevo (24814.42 people/km).
The lowest population density is in Molzhaninovsky district (454.68 people/km), Metrogorodok (1410.19 people/km), Vnukovo (1458.44 people/km), Severny (3397.47 people/km) and Silino (3844.9 people/km). Among the settlements, Rogovskoye (19.37 people/km), Novofedorovskoye (43.67 people/km), Voronovskoye (43 people/km), Krasnopakhorskoye (55.45 people/km), Klyonovskoye have the smallest population density. (62.04 people/km).
How many migrants and visitors in Moscow in 2019
A significant share in the constant growth of the population of Moscow is the active influx of immigrants from other regions of Russia and neighboring countries. Since 2008, at least 1.5 million illegal labor migrants have been permanently in Moscow. 1.8 million registered temporary residents. However, the FMS does not provide accurate and official data on those illegally staying on the territory of Moscow, although it is clear to the naked eye that every fifth person you meet is a visitor.
It should be noted that in terms of natural population growth, Moscow is not the leader in the country. In this regard, the southern regions of Russia hold the palm.
Official data on the population of the city take into account only permanent residents of the city. According to the Moscow Federal Migration Service, in 2008 another 1,800,000 visitors (labor migrants and guest workers, students and others) were officially registered, and, according to experts in 2009, there are about 1 million more unregistered migrants in the city. The constant growth of the population of Moscow is mainly due to the influx of population from other regions.
How many people live in the Moscow region
The population of the Moscow region, according to Rosstat, is 7,504,339 people. Population density - 169.29 people / km 2 (2018). Urban population - 80.79%.
Population
population is one of the demographics. In the general case, the number of people in a certain population (region, etc.). Constantly changing due to births, deaths, migration, measured and evaluated at a certain point in time.
Population- absolute moment value, reflecting the quantitative dimensions of society living in a certain territory.
Population- this is the initial basic indicator when analyzing the socio-economic situation that has developed in any country in the world.
Due to the momentary nature of the population, there may be distortions in the process of economic calculations.

Most people know about Moscow only as the capital of the Russian Federation, which is home to many millions of people. But few people tried to understand the life of the metropolis, to understand why new people constantly come to Moscow, why it is a city of great opportunities, as they say about it. After all, the population of the capital could not grow at such an incredible rate if the conditions for life and work there were inappropriate. Let's deal with everything in order.
Brief history of Moscow
The history of this largest Russian city is full of many events in which Moscow acted in two statuses: as the capital of our state and simply as the largest cultural center. Scientists have found in the annals for 1147 the first mention of this city. Since then, this year has been considered the date of the founding of Moscow, although researchers have repeatedly noted that there was another large settlement on the site of the city, which existed much earlier than it.
On the other hand, due to the large influx of residents from Central Asia to Moscow, physical labor began to be valued much less. Employers are mainly interested in narrow-profile specialists - graduates of technical universities. As the population of Moscow continues to grow, so does competition among job seekers. That is why, for lack of a better way, people often get positions in the service sector (waiters, merchandisers, leaflet distributors, etc.).
Historical city population data
The indicators in the category "Population of Moscow by years" can be divided into two groups. The first one should contain statistics about the inhabitants before the 20th century, and the second - from the 20th century. This is due to the following reasons. Until the First World War and the First Russian Revolution, the population of the city grew rather slowly. Of course, it was influenced by the living conditions of people of those times, the poor development of infrastructure, medicine in the whole country. So, 1 million indicators for the population of Moscow reached only at the very end of the 19th century - in 1896. In all previous centuries, the population grew by 100-200 thousand per century, excluding the same XIX, when the influx of population increased much.
In the 20th century, the population of Moscow increased by a million inhabitants every decade. Not every major city can boast of these incredible figures, with the exception of such megacities as New York, Beijing, Paris and some others.
Moscow population data
To date, the question: "What is the population in Moscow?" - you can get an incredible answer: more than 12 million 100 thousand people. A huge influx of residents has led to a significant expansion of the city, the development of the infrastructure of each individual district. More than 100 thousand people permanently live in each of the 125 subjects of the capital. The most populated administrative district of Moscow is Yuzhny with a population of over 1 million 750 thousand people.
Unofficial residents of Moscow
As mentioned above, the number of inhabitants in Moscow is more than 12 million. But these are just official statistics. In practice, it has been proven that more than 20 million people live in the capital of Russia, among which about 8 million are people without a residence permit or a residence permit, in other words, illegal migrants or Russian citizens who came to the metropolis in search of work.
The unofficial population of Moscow is a huge indicator, the clarification of which is necessary for competent planning and construction of various infrastructure facilities in the city. Finding out the exact number of residents has recently been carried out with the help of mobile operators, which provide government agencies with depersonalized data on the size and movement of the population.
Many officials also note that accurate data would help create the optimal number of jobs for those who come to the capital of the Russian Federation to earn money.
The composition of the population of Moscow
The population of Moscow is an indicator that has a direct relationship with the national composition of the city's inhabitants. It should be noted that in this case the official number of Moscow residents is taken as 100% - 12 million people. According to statistics, more than 91% of Russians, 1.4% of Tatars and Ukrainians, 1% of Armenians, 0.5% of Azerbaijanis and Jews, 0.4% of Belarusians and Georgians, 0.3% of citizens of Uzbekistan live in the metropolis, 0.2% of Mordovians, Moldovans and Tajiks, as well as a small number of Ossetians, Koreans, representatives of Chuvashia, Kazakhstan, China, Chechnya and Vietnam.
Naturally, the list of nationalities that live in the capital of Russia is not limited to the above. The rest of the nationalities in percentage terms occupy 1.2% of all residents of Moscow.
Forecasts
Statistical experts, as well as public observers, unanimously declare that since there is no reason for the influx of new residents to stop, the city's population continues to grow. Moscow is expanding, all the conditions for the life of citizens are being created, so the capital can afford to accommodate even more people while solving the transport problem and reducing real estate prices. If the availability of housing and jobs increase, the number of inhabitants in the near future will exceed both 20 and 30 million people.
